New York couple looking for nanny asks insane questions: “How often do you wash your hair”

A New York couple has been mocked mercilessly across the Internet for advertising for a nanny on Craigslist and including a 65-question survey with highly personal questions such as, “How often do you wash your hair,” “What’s your high school GPA?” and “Do you smoke weed?”

The posting opens with a cutesy description of the couple’s dream nanny:

Grab your umbrella! You are a magical Mary Poppins, a wizard, or a giant spiky Triceratops. You love to play, pretend, create, teach, and nurture. You are reliable, warm, and fun, but also know how to say “no” when necessary.

The ad goes on to say that the family lives in Queens and has two boys, 2 and 5, who need to be cared for from 11:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. The parents are offering $15 an hour.

The Craigslist ad was posted on Jan. 5 and pulled from the site this week, but we were able to cull some of the most ridiculous questions from stories in the Daily Mail and Gawker.
